[ Featuring Pat Johnson ]
So hard to believe that you're gone when you're here
Your numb, busy body, and empty blank stare
I won't ever forget you're my number one fan
I'll try to let go, but don't know if I can
Are you flat on your back down under the truck
Or helping me out of a jam when I'm stuck
Even though you don't know me now, I still believe
Where ever you are, you're still grounded
Roots still run deep though the branches are dead
Lessons on living still run through my head
Robbed of goodbye without knowing why
For you, I will try to stay grounded
Are you still building houses, or playing guitar
Following hockey, or fixing my car
Do you climb down to play with the kids on the floor
Will you ever surrender to laughter once more
Do you still kneel down every night before bed
With the demons and angels all inside your head
I can't pay you back for the ways that you gave
But you are the reason I'm grounded
Roots still run deep though the branches are dead
Lessons on living still run through my head
Robbed of goodbye without knowing why
For you, I will try to stay grounded
For you, I will try to stay grounded
